Meet ARF stars Everest and Sweetie

Eight-year-old Everest is kind, sweet gentlemen who really enjoys getting affection and simply hanging out with his favorite person. This guy would love to be in a great comfy bed all tucked in while he is being petted and loved on. He also enjoys sitting in laps and taking in his environment with the occasional tasty treat headed his way.

The adoption fee for puppies under 6 months is $300, for adult dogs is $250, and includes a discount on the first six-week session of a manners class.

Three-year-old Sweetie is a loving and gentle girl who will need some time and patience to develop her confidence in a new home. The effort will be well rewarded when she warms up and shows her affectionate personality. Once she feels safe, she blossoms into a sweet kitty who enjoys petting while all the while purring up a storm. When the mood strikes her, she also enjoys settling into a warm lap to cuddle.

The adoption fee for kittens under 6 months is $125 ($200 for 2) and for adult cats is $75 ($100 for 2).
